Early Dashboard Prototype

A calm, high-level view of drowning and near-drowning incidents.

This early dashboard uses simulated data to show how FloatSwim may eventually visualize real incidents: not to sensationalize, but to help families, communities, and partners see patterns more clearly.

Demo data only Privacy-aware design Built to expand over time

Data source (current demo): a static JSON file at data/incidents.json, served by GitHub Pages.

Snapshot Metrics (Demo)

These numbers are based on the current demo dataset. In the future, this view may reflect live or regularly updated incident data from carefully selected sources.

Total incidents (demo)

–

Count of incidents currently in the demo dataset, including both drowning and near-drowning events.

Near-drowning (demo)

–

Incidents where a person was rescued or revived. These often come with long-term medical or emotional impacts.

Drowning (demo)

–

Incidents currently marked as drowning in the demo data. Real-world views will be handled with extreme care and respect.

States represented (demo)

–

Number of distinct U.S. states in the current demo dataset. In the future, this may expand to regions and countries.

Last updated (demo)

–

Timestamp from the demo JSON file, indicating when this sample dataset was last changed.

Important note

These numbers are for demonstration only. They do not represent live tracking, and they do not pull directly from official public safety databases yet.

Incident List (Demo Data)

Each card below represents one incident from the demo dataset at data/incidents.json. Real-world data will be anonymized and aggregated to protect privacy, especially for minors.

Future Dashboard Capabilities

Over time, this dashboard may evolve to include map views, trend graphs, filters by age and environment, and tools for local organizers and policymakers.

Interactive maps showing anonymized incident clusters and seasonal trends.
Filters for age group, water type (pool, lake, ocean, bath), and context.
Links from patterns to practical prevention steps and local resources.
Exportable summaries to support grant writing and community planning.

The dashboard’s purpose is to inform and equip—not to shock. Every design decision will be guided by respect for families and a focus on prevention.

Sample Incident Format (Illustrative Only)

The table below does not use real data. It simply demonstrates how incidents might be displayed in a future version of the dashboard, using anonymized, pattern-focused information.

Date	Region	Age bracket	Setting	Outcome
Example: Jun 3 (Weekday)	Metro area – Southwest U.S.	1–4 years	Residential pool	Near-drowning, hospitalized
Example: Jul 12 (Weekend)	Suburban community – Midwest	5–9 years	Lake / open water	Fatal, no life jacket
Example: Aug 20 (Evening)	Urban high-rise – East Coast	Under 1 year	Bathtub	Near-drowning, recovered with follow-up care
Example: Sep 5 (Holiday)	Tourist area – Coastal	Teen	Ocean / rip current	Rescued by lifeguards

In a future phase, this table will be generated from carefully sourced data rather than static examples. The emphasis will remain on anonymized patterns—age, setting, and outcome—rather than personally identifying details.
